yea i know cuz of the negative camber and i just drove it again and it's not really a vibration of the car just the plastic trim aand it's only when the engine is under load. it's just a faint steady dronish noise from the cabin. No clicks and clacks from wheels. i dont hear a thing mechanical. I think it's the tires plu si feel that they dont roll evenly almost. Ugh any opinions

just give it up and take it to a shop
Negative camber won't cause that or feather. Toe causes feather. It takes a lot of negative camber to burn off tires. The problem is there is usually a toe problem when people have a lot of negative camber and they just blame it on the camber and not the true problem.
I have seen bagged trucks running 4-5 degrees of negative camber and not worn out tires before and i have seen cars that look like a normal alignment with no drop and it burns off tires like crazy because of a toe issue.

I had the exact same problem .... Mine was the allignment. Even though they checked I bet your front tires are riding/wearing on the inside. So when they check your tires and check tread they looked fine. Alignment will def help...That problem drove me nuts for 2-3 months last year. Then after I replaced all tires my mechanic was like o wow no wonder you said you heard a noise....... I brought it in thinking it was a ball joint/bearing but was a much simpler problem. When you go tomorrow check the inside edges on the tires. Hope this helps
